When life seems to blunder into disorder <br />And rips all our sense of proportion asunder, <br />Discontented confusion reigns high on agenda. <br />We muddle on through then - we do not go under.! <br /> <br />Discordant with jumble the days mesh together, <br />Sometimes with chaos we feel out of control. <br />When life's perplexities become too rife, it's <br />Good to remember to smile, and stay whole.! <br /> <br />Flustering muddle can only make headway when <br />Escape to more peaceful existence seems dead. <br />Abstract distractions will only bewilder us <br />If we give in to them - so we take stock instead.! <br /> <br />We struggle along until life starts unknotting <br />Dark problems we thought would forever be tied. <br />With bold persistence stress unravels it's hold <br />And leaves us the victor, self-respect satisfied.!<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/struggling-through/
